BedJet Company Background

BedJet is a growing sleep technology brand based in the beautiful ocean front destination city of Newport, Rhode Island. We design and manufacture innovative, differentiated and highly engineered consumer products for bedrooms that improve comfort and sleep. Current product lineup includes the worlds #1 best-selling and highest consumer rated cooling, warming and sweat drying climate comfort system just for beds, and the world’s thinnest and most compact motion adjustable bed frame technology.

BedJet was founded as a digitally native ecommerce DTC company and has grown every year since first shipping product in 2015. The company is now selling in over 40 countries, including USA, Canada, EU, UK and Australia. The company maintains all functions critical to ecommerce DTC sales success with an experienced in-house team, with little dependence on outside agencies. This in-house team supports all digital media production including video, website development and management, all social media and PPC advertising and all influencer/affiliate programs.

Until the first half of 2024, company sales were primarily online via BedJet.com and Amazon. In 2024 the company launched a multi-year initiative to transition into omni-channel sales, with a focus on growth via resellers and brick-and-mortar retailers. The product was most recently successfully launched in Best Buy stores in mid-November 2024.

As BedJet moves into its next chapter of growth, the Founder/CEO is looking for an experienced and energetic chief marketing officer (CMO) to continue the massively successful revenue trajectory of the company. At BedJet, every employee has an equity stake in the company and the CMO position would be no exception. The company is owned jointly by the Founder and private equity investors.

The CMO will have the opportunity to work closely with cross-functional teams, leverage advanced marketing technologies, and significantly impact our organization's growth trajectory.
